I think you are safe to buy a PPC Mac now. The software thing should
be much better than OS9 to OSX. At worst software will be as it was
with the FAT apps when PPC came along. I am going to get a new tower
this year because they are very good and the software will not be a
problem until the tower is pretty old. Also, the tower will not have
hardware DRM as the new Mactel's will; this may be very useful down
the road.
The PPC and Intel applications will ship on the same CD. This will be
the same as the software was going to the PPC in 1964; You won't see
any difference.

so, what do i do? sit on my S900 for another 2 years
or go the same route as my last purchase and snag the
best and last line of PPC Mac for cheap when they have
to dump that inventory.
But why go through that hell again?
Software is the real headache. I'm no guru like the
rest of you, but I not gonna buy a new PPC mac when
new software for Intel Macs will be popping up. Being
behind in hardware is livable, but being behind
software is a bigger mess.
Let's see Adobe and Quark get my money with any new
upgrades NOT made for IntelMacs.. hahahahahaha
So i ask myself, what's the next intelligent purchase?
the last PPC macs or the first IntelMacs. what can get
me the same buying power as this trusty S900?
